Agnos walked one in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Friday's 3-2 win over the Yankees.

This was Agnos' third save of the season, though it was his first since May 1 versus the Giants. Over his previous five appearances, he had allowed four runs (two earned) with a 6:1 K:BB, earning one hold. Agnos is in the mix for closing duties for the Rockies, but considering the team improved to 9-42 with Friday's win, save chances are unlikely to be frequent. He has a 1.29 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 7:2 K:BB over 14 innings this season.

Gusto didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Mariners after allowing two runs on four hits and three walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out six.

While Gusto tied a season worst in walks, he did match his season best in punchouts. The 26-year-old right-hander generated only five whiffs Friday, and he's tossed at least five innings just twice among his six starts this season. Gusto has struggled with a 5.96 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 28:10 K:BB over 25.2 innings as a starter this year but is set for a soft matchup next versus the Rays, who are batting just .228 across their last 25 contests.

Tonkin (shoulder/biceps) resumed playing catch this week after two cortisone shots for tendinitis in his right biceps, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Tonkin started the season on the 15-day injured list due to a right shoulder strain. He was cleared for a rehab assignment in mid-April and made six appearances in the minors, but his throwing program was paused due to right biceps tendinitis. It's encouraging that he's making progress, but he's likely out until the All-Star break or later.

Wilson earned the save in Friday's 4-1 win over Texas. He issued one walk without allowing a hit and didn't record a strikeout in a scoreless ninth inning.

With Cam Booser and Jordan Leasure dispatched for the seventh and eighth innings, respectively, the White Sox turned to Wilson to close things out in the ninth. Wilson needed 17 pitches (11 strikes) to maneuver through the frame and came away with his first save since 2022 as a member of the Padres. The 30-year-old right-hander has a 1.72 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 13:8 K:BB across 15.2 innings this season.

Iglesias (3-4) was tagged with the loss against the Padres on Friday after allowing a solo homer in the ninth inning while striking out one batter. He did not issue a walk.

Iglesias was tasked with keeping the game tied at 1-1, but that mission was short-lived after he yielded a solo home run to Manny Machado. It's been a shaky season for Iglesias, who has allowed at least one earned run in five of his last seven outings and has a 5.75 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 21:4 K:BB across 20.1 innings. Iglesias' recent poor play could force manager Brian Snitker to turn to someone else for closing duties. Pierce Johnson and Dylan Lee are current options out of the bullpen, or Snitker could consider veteran Craig Kimbrel, who is with Triple-A Gwinnett after signing a minor-league deal with Atlanta in March.

Suarez earned the save in Friday's 2-1 win over Atlanta after allowing two hits without recording a walk or strikeout in a scoreless ninth inning.

Suarez blew his last two save opportunities, but he got the call to come in for the ninth inning to protect the Padres' one-run lead. He was able to maneuver past two singles -- thanks in large part to a baserunning blunder by Eli White -- to come away with the save after tossing 19 pitches (13 strikes). Suarez has a 2.57 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 22:8 K:BB across 21 innings this season, and his 16 saves is second most in the majors behind Andres Munoz (17).

The Red Sox added Criswell to their active roster to serve as the 27th man for Friday's doubleheader against Baltimore, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Criswell hasn't performed well with the Red Sox this season, allowing five earned runs in only 4.1 innings, but he owns a 1.99 ERA across 22.2 frames at Triple-A Worcester. He'll give Boston some extra bullpen depth for Friday's twin bill but is likely to return to the minors following the second game.

The Mariners recalled Castano from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

Castano joins the Mariners' bullpen for what will be his MLB debut if he gets into a game. The 26-year-old will likely serve as a multi-inning reliever considering seven of his 10 appearances with Tacoma were starts. Castano has logged a 3.43 ERA and a 28:19 K:BB in 44.2 innings at Triple-A.

The Athletics optioned Duran to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Duran made his MLB debut Thursday against the Angels and allowed three earned runs on one hit and three walks. He recorded just one out and will head back to the minors.

The Mariners designated Hahn for assignment Friday, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

Hahn has given up four runs (three earned) with a 3:5 K:BB over five innings this season with the Mariners. He wound up re-signing with Seattle after being removed from its 40-man roster in April, but it's not clear what his intentions are this time around.
